i suppose that could make the global conflict a lil more tragic
say parker is 70ish now and doing well bc medical advances and mega rich employer and shit, maybe he was recalled after retiring to fight at 50 or so
they got desperate enough to recall 50 year old vets to fight
and of course it also implies much conflict even before 2040 tho i would hesitate to say they were continuations of the present wars we’re having
I would put my life savings on that
